Introducing Ted Lasso’s famous biscuits – not to be mistaken for the similarly named episode! Ted introduced Rebecca to British “biscuits,” commonly known as “cookies” in America, not the biscuits and gravy you may be thinking of! (The British call those scones) Ted uses these freshly baked treats to break the ice with Rebecca, and she couldn’t resist. And neither will you when you try the original recipe we have here, as well as the keto version we tested! Let’s look at how to make both.

Tips for Perfect Biscuits Every Time
- Try to get your ingredients as fine as possible for the perfect shortbread texture. Sifting and using powdered sugar helps a lot with this!
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before beating. It helps to make a softer cookie.
- Definitely don’t skip the chilling and pre-slicing. It will make your life so much easier when cutting the biscuits to serve.
- These are great with a hot cup of tea!

FAQ
Ted Lasso biscuits are renowned for their buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture and simple yet delicious flavor. They became iconic through the popular TV show Ted Lasso, where they are a key element of the titular character’s charm and hospitality.
Store your Ted Lasso biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, simply warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for a few minutes until they are warm and crisp.
The actor who plays Rebeca on the show mentioned the biscuits on an episode of the Today Show. She confessed that they were pretty dry at first and even complained about them extensively, leading to a recipe change. “Now, with all that butter and sugar, I could happily munch on them all day,” Waddingham shared. So, I guess they became a hit!
